The U.S. House will vote tomorrow on H.R. 3309, or the “Innovation Act.” Proponents of this bill want you to believe that it will strengthen U.S. patent law and its protections for American entrepreneurs and inventors.

Continue reading →Americans should beware when Members of Congress talk about “reform” and “comprehensive” because those words usually cover a lot of mischief.

Brown might have been booed if he hadn’t delivered what aides called his “signature” speech within the cloistered walls of Harvard’s Kennedy Center.

At the MSNBC Florida presidential debate, Mitt Romney posed a very significant question. “As we compete with China, how do we make sure that trade is done in a way that levels the playing field? How do we … protect American industry and American jobs, and do not cause a departure of jobs from this country?”

It is called the Omnibus Patent bill, but it ought to be called the Ominous Patent bill because it would take away the traditional rights of American inventors in order to accommodate the multinationals and their foreign trading partners.
